08' Lancer info needed

Well, I get about 350 miles on a tank and the tank is about 13 gallons. I didn't look that info up, its the amount of gas i put into my car. the 350 is 50% city and 50% highway. I've gotten about 430 miles on 95% highway on a tank.

The buying is going to depend on you really. if you can afford the car payment while going to school then go for it. I have less than a year before I graduate college so I decided to get the 08 Lancer ES (didn't care much for the GTS cuz I'm going to change most of the mods they give you anyway).

you'll need to figure out the numbers on interest rate, your trade in value, and prolly the amount u spend on gas for your V6.

 

Personally i love my car. From what i've read on here, some people don't like the lack in performance in the 08 Lancers. Now the 09 GTS has a 2.4L 168HP engine but of course its gonna cost more and most aftermarket stuff that is out is for the 2.0L. I think the 152HP fed spec is enough to get on the freeway and pass people. I do it just fine.

Another thing is the rear panel rattles when you have a sub in it, but that's easily fixable. The paint on the car really sucks but I think Mitsu has a rep for that. Aside from those things I really can't think of anything else. Nothing major comes to mind.

Oh...when you put window tint on, there have been problems with it scratching the inside over time. I want to say that Mitsu fixed the prob but I'm not 100% on that. it's annoying but not a huge deal for me. may want to double check on that with your friend at Mitsu

 

99galant is that you?

 

also another thing to like at and take into consideration, you said the it most likely will be a dd. the de does not have the ac included with it only the es and gts. something to think about

 

AC is not STANDARD EQUIPMENT but you can get it as an option or part of the dealership package

 

Dunlops SUCK on the GTS, the Yokohamas are all season on the ES but you decided on better tires for snow.

 

Shouldnt be any different i dont think mine didnt change seeing as how many air bags these cars have

 

my insurance is pretty good i think and im only 20 so yeah haha, with full coverage

 

umm... u never get a car w/ 0 miles ... i think the absolute lowest u'll ever get is like 10 miles... right?

 

You can find cars with lower then 10 miles. My Galant only had 1.5 miles when I purchased it. It went from the shipyard to the truck and off onto the dealer lot. It still had the plastic on it...

 

ur insurance might actually go down... i know a lot of people that went from some 98 and their new lancer was actually cheaper because of all the safety features they have =)

 

basically here it is
i messed up with this and im paying for it now
dont get the packages....no navi an no rockford
first of all that rockford shit blows
i just hooked all my rockford speakers up to a eclipse 175x4 amp
and they sound decent
but not worth 1000
im putting 800 dollar polks speakers up front which i get for 300 after discount and then 500 dollar coaxials in the back that i get at 150
then i9 have an infiniti sub in the trunk hooked up to 2 of those 4 channels bridged and the other two go to the doors.

but in about 2 weeks im getting 2 kicker 12 inch L7's and a kicker zx 1000.1 mono amp
then the navi will be switched for
either a pioneer z2 depending on if i get a discount on that(gotta call pioneer tmrw they are closed)
or the eclipse 5495
both have a hard drive
